GUILTY, OF COURSE.

The jury at Provo, before whom
Maurice McGrath was tried for steal
ing the reporters notes of the Eureka
Bullion Beck mining trial, has found
the defendant guilty. It was apparent
early in the trial that this would be the
verdict, and as the prosecution IN
folded it's case, it became conclusive
that the jury could not acquit. As the
testimony has come out, the popular
conviction has also grown that Nc
Grath was not alone IN this affair. It
is belief entertained by not few who
have followed the trial that there
should have been more than one de-
PENDANT, and that McGrath was merely
the miserable tool employed by men
more cunning and skiIlful than he.
Who were back Of him. if anybody, is
not for us to say at this time, but it
should occur to those whose business
it is to ferret out crime and
detect and punish the guilty that there
is fine opportunity for the exercise of
their skill and authority. 1t may be
that McGrath is willing to serve as a
scape goat in this case, and alone suffer
the penalty for the crime, but this fact
will not satisfy justice, if others are
equally guilty with him.

WARMING THEM UP.

1t seems that the San Francisco
grand jury struck pay lead when
it went after the alleged jury bribers.
The latter were highly indignant and
putting on the air of injured innocence,
claimed to be the victims of malicious
persecution. At frst they undertook
to run game of bluff, and then they
set out to fight, and now they are
weakening. One has fed to Mexico,
another has withdrawn his plan of not
guilty and entered one of guilty,
while others are trembling in their
boots. 1t so happens that all the men
mixed up in this ugly business have
been prominent in political affairs of
the State, one OF them, Chris. Buck
ley. being perhaps the shrewdest
and most powerful political boss
in san Francisco. It is not believed
that ne aes been so careless or SO in
cautious as to leave his tracks IN
covered, but however cle7erly he NAV
have arranged as 10 himself it is evident
that some of his henchmen must suffer
the penalty for wrong-doing. One good
feature of this affair is that nobody has
the courage to offer an excuse for the
wrong-doers, or even to express SYM
pathy for them. Everybody. seemingly,
is delighted with the exposure and
prosecution, Thereby proclaiming their
condemnation of jury-bribing as one of
the worst of crimes.

UNFAIR CRITICIsM.

The New York Times, which is one
of the ablest as it is among the very
falrest newspapers published in Amer
lea, is disposed to quarrel with Judge
Carlton and General McClernand, the
minority of the Utah Commission, be
cause the gentlemen did not agree
with the majority in the report to the
Secretary Of the Interior. The Tfn,es
has read neither the majority nor the
minority report; it approves the major
ity from the brief Geographic synopsis
which characterized the State move
ment as ian effort to free the Mormon
church from the tolls which the firm
attitude OF the government and the
energetic course of the Federal
officers have thrown around it." and
takes issue with the minority on the
assumption that the latter tavor the
Statehood movement. The Times says:
1.-The minority members of the Com
mission hold that the Mormous are act
ing in good faith. Probably they will
say in their dissenting report that the
Mormons should be allowed TO erect q
State upon the Constitution which they
have formed"
tt is unlike the Times fairness to thus
assume false premises for the sake of
condemning. McClernand and Carlton
do not advocate Statehood for Utah.
1t was not their place to favor or op-
pose the movement. They were not
sent here to engage In our politics,
and certainly were not employed
by the Federal government to
take sides in our local politi-
cal affairs. The Commission was
created for the administration and en-
forcement of certain Federal law gov.
erning elections in this Territory, and
by request of the Secretary of the In
terror it has annually prepared report
or statement as to the condition of
things here, in these reports going out
side the scope of the law by virtue of
which it was created and exists. In the
present instance the majority have
ity and of decency, and have openly
and impudently assaiied the honesty of
he people of Utah. They have OPP
posed the. Statehood movement,
and have based their opposition
In the cowardly and contemplate
assumption that the people who favor
hne State are dishonest scoundrels. No
man in the majority has the moral or
physical courage to say to any Mormon
who voted for the polygsmy-forbidding
Constitution that the latter is insincere
and dishonest, and yet the report
charges all with fraud and deception
Carlton and McClernand confne them
selves in this matter to statement OF
what has been done, and then leave the
question; they 90 not oppose the oi4t-
because in no part of their duties or
instructions can they find auth rity for

it; and they do not favor the State, for
the same very excellent reason. AS to
the question of the admission OF Utah,
they simply say: 1--WE have only to
say that it appeals solely and properly
to the sound discretion OF Congress
where We are content TO leave it with
out further remark " 1t would have
been impudent and uncalled for to have
said'more, and it seems these gentle
men had some respect for the proprie-
ties, though the majority displayed
none.
The Times condemnation OF the
minority is based somewhat on the fact
that Carlton and McClernand as
sumo that the Mormons are acting
in good faith. If our esteemed con-
temporary had been as cautious and
careful as usual it would not have
made this a matter for criticism.
What right had the Commissioners
to assume that the Mormons were not
acting in good faith? The Mormons
as people or as individuals, had never
deceived them. In all their associa-
ton with them, an association extend
ing over five years, they had never
found Mormon otherwise than hon
est, nor one whose word could not be
relied upon implicitly. Then why
should not the Saints be believed in
this instance If the Times can say,
we would all like to have the explana-
ton. We hope, however, that it will
not try to sustain itself by falling back
on the majority of the Commission,
who are utterly irresponsible and
should not be held accountable, from
the fact that they are the tools and
slaves of little gang of as graceless
scamps as ever attempted to despoil a
people and plumber a country. There
is not one of the majority who ever
thinks of expressing an independent
opinion, and all consult their masters
before saying or doing.
When the Times reads the minority
report and learns that Messrs. Carlton
and McClernsnd sssail the illegal prac-
tees of the Mormons with vigorous and
unmistakable language, and merely
suggest that if Mormons shall obey the
laws and live as other people they be
treated as others are treated, our con-
will not quarrel with the

nounced against the idea is the true
American that he will not consent to
change the system which was estab
lished at the outset. Denominational
public education implies more or less
union of church and state, the advan-
tage being with the church in so far as
it has the education and shaping of the
minds of the youth. The wise trainers
of the Constitution, having seen the
evils of a union of church and state
which ever led 10 the subordination
of the state to the church, forbid
such union in the United States.
Their decree has been approved and re-
inforced by provisions in the constitu-
tons of most of the States, and with
special reference to the public schools
which are everywhere sought to be pro-
tected from sectarian influence and
control. 1t is a delusion which the
worthy cardinal lays to his heart in this
hope that UNCONVENTIONAL schools will
become a part of the public school
system; and it is decidedly and widely
apart from the American popular senti-
ment when he asserts that 1.-THE remedy
for the defects of our system would be
supplied if the denominational plan
were to be applied in our public
schools" On that proposition he and
his countrymen must part company, and
it would be well for him as the head
OF the great Catholic Church. in
America if he would, instead of en-
couraging his people with a vain hope,
lead them into the acceptation of the
American idea that the state must have
nothing to do with schools that are not
secular. There may be faults with our
public school system; It is not perfect.
and there are instances where it works
an injustice and hardship, as where a
community is made up almost entirely
of one denomination; yet the system is
the most liberal and the best ever de-
vised, and it is assuredly the safest for
a state which is founded on the theory
that the church must not dominate and
that all men must be regarded as equal
before the law and in the affairs of the
state, regardless of their religion or
non-reigious ideas.

1T CAN NEVER BE.

In the October number of the North
Anterican ReUieg, Cardinal Gibbons has
an admirable paper on public tenden-
cies and governmental defects in the
United States; that is to say, the article
is admirable except in the particular
that he expresses the opinion, which
ne evidently favOrs, that in time there
will be established in this country q
system OF UNCONVENTIONAL schools at
the public expense. This is the ambi-
ton of the Roman Catholics, and thew
are working to that end, but they will
never see their ambition gratifed.
The Cardinal says; "The religious
and secular education of our chill
dren cannot be divorced without
infiicting fatal wound upon the soul y
This may be correct; it probably i,
true, as proposition, and yet so pro

IT IS highly complimentary to Messrs.
Carlton and McClernand, the minority
of the Utah Commission, that the
thinking, conservative non-Mormons
commend their report and condemn that
of the majority. It is worthy of re-
mark that Mormons are quiet as to
both reports, doubtless regarding both
as containing unwarranted attacks
upon them and their religion.

upon its tenth volume Mr.. Bobleter,
who has been its editor and proprietor
for nine years, has severed his connec.
tion with the paper to enter upon the
more responsible duties of the State
treasurership. which the vote of the
people has conferred on him. The new
proprietors, Messrs. Brandt and Wed.
dendorf, will make every effort to furn-
ish good, newsy country paper. They
have appointed a managing editor, who
will be alone responsible for the opin-
ions he may venture to express on the
live issues of the day. Such an arrange
ment was deemed desirable in view of
the fact that even within the same pol
itical party no two men can be found
who will agree upon all the thousand
points that claim the attention of the
Intelligent citizens. The editor will
strive to perform his duties 10 the best
of his ability. He does not claim to be
infallible, and will welcome any COM
munications that may enlighten him as
to the wickedness of his ways. 10 the
readers of the REVIEW he extends q
hearty greeting, with the assurance that
he will endeayor to win their favor by
conscientious work.
